My film prof used to say that Kevin Costner got a Oscar for Dances with Wolves for hiring the right cinematographer and a shot of a stirrup. Nothing else could explain that in his mind.

I also thought it was lame for Mel Gibson to win a directing Oscar for Braveheart. In both cases, I think, these were actors directing movies for the first time and winning Oscars, when long-time, respected directors like Hitchcock, Kubrick, Altman and Scorcese never won (although Scorcese has since won).

Third Least - James Cameron (Titanic) - Best Director (As far as I know that man screws up everything that would otherwise be worthwhile. Actually I didn’t realize he was behind the original Terminator. That was great, but T2 sucked DB IMO. Also Aliens, Spider-Man, and The Abyss weren’t bad so he isn’t comepletely all hype.)

T2 sucked? Your taste is… interesting.

What does Cameron have to do with Spider-Man?
